And My Firefighter husband Todd, sweet, funny, kind man who happens to be a hero at his day job, my Mom who weathered a tough WWII chldhood and managed to raise my brother and me up pretty good, and my brother Scott, a brilliant musician, writer, and painter. He knows what love is and I respect him.

關於我：
Primal, atmospheric dreamscapes... Cathie Joy's paintings feel like directly transmitted dreams, almost like fairy tales or nursery rhymes, peaceful but discordant enough to be curious, to feel like inquiries or investigations of mystery. These paintings take me to the depths of some place where I want to stay...but a place which challenges me in some intangible way; they are worlds full of beauty, of change, of wonderment.

******************************************************************************************
Cathie Joy Young creates tapestries of beautifully layered rich colors in which creatures, known and unknown, gather together. Some of them look out at you, others are sleepy or forlorn or joyful. Her original work is very fresh in its take on primitivism. The beautiful palette of rust and muted greens is intoxicating. The paintings seem always playful, but also seem to be alluding to a sort of mysterious antiquity or mythology, either real or of Cathie's creation.
***Charmagne Coe
********************************************************************************************
Cathie Joy Young utilizes a masterful command of color and composition with acrylic on wood panels to create modern, urban paintings with an oftentimes devotional quality to them. Although unmistakably current in appearance, the imagery often evokes a feeling of having come from long ago and far away. Figures, boats, structures, and animals recur in her paintings which at first appear whimsical, but look closer and the viewer may discover the depth and tension within these spectral images. The multiplicity of meanings implied in these works is reflected by the alternating techniques of glazing and scraping through the paint to reveal the layers below, adding to the surface texture and at times revealing what at some point in the process was hidden. These sensitive, complex works do not scream with narrative and emotion, rather they suggest by a whisper up close, inviting the viewer to come to a visual understanding.

I thank you kindly for the friendship, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance! Thought I'd just point out that the works featured in my myspace gallery are just small "detail" sections of much larger drawings, all of which are shown in full alongside more of my art in my external website GRANDPASTUDIOS.COM's gallery!! Please take a peek if you have time.
I painted this ala plein aire while the peacock sat on my friend's deck
railing. In Palos Verdes, CA, peacocks live wild & free among the
homes and pepper trees.
